You can request they hand tie the latex balloon when you get it filled.
Please use no string and if you must have a tail/holder use crepe paper -cheap rolls of it found in birthday party isles-it degrades rapidly when exposed to moisture.
Release balloons singly not as a bouquet.
I realize these may appear as melodramatic concerns but I do wildlife rehab and live on the coast. Steps are being made as we have gone from removing ribbon and mylar to regular balloons and cotton string from beaks. Now the hope is the next step is to lose the strings completely. I understand how meaningful a balloon release can be and I post my suggestions only to keep even one of us from injuring one life while trying to honor another.
